...testify at length about how the funds were used. Carmine Bellino, a top investigator for the Senate Watergate committee has also been looking into the institute deposits. Beyond that, TIME has learned that Bellino and two accountants recently spent a week in Los Angeles delving into records of a "nonprofit educational foundation" suspected of concealing gifts to Nixon, then departed abruptly for Miami.
